I am an Ubuntu user with Google Chrome 39.0 and whenever I enter a Google Spreadsheet-document (with Chrome), I get a warning header saying that "This version of Firefox is no longer supported, please upgrade to a supported browser".

What have I done wrong? How come Google thinks I'm using Firefox when I'm using their own browser? I have not enabled emulation in the developer tools.

When checking my user-agent at a 3rd party website, it says "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120427 Firefox/15.0a1".

  • Go to whatsmyuseragent.com. What user agent does it show?

    Okay, so your Chrome browser for some reason is identifying itself to websites as Firefox 15. Do you have any extensions installed in Chrome?

    Omg, yes I have an agent-switcher extension. When I set it to "Chrome" the problem vanished... I cannot believe how stupid I was not looking for that one. Thanks for the help and sorry for the incovenience.
